Tech Hardware Maintenance ($13,600, 1%)This account covers the annual maintenance
contracts for all the Cisco hardware including switches and routers.

This account includes over 150 network switches and routers located in each member library, the primary servers located at SCLS Headquarters (Windows, Web, E-mail, etc.) as well as the UPS power backup units located at SCLS HQ.
Each piece of equipment is slated for replacement on a 5-year cycle and the replacement costs are pro-rated over 5 years.
$ The addition of network equipment for the Badgernet upgrades and a new server for Crystal Reports and e-commerce will require that the proration is recalculated.
$ Not all hardware is replaced each year. Funds not expended in the current year are added to the Technology contingency account to use in later years. In 2012, this account was overspent, and contingency was used to offset the over-expenditure.
Tech Software Licenses ($72,100, 7%)
Includes various software licenses installed on SCLS supported PCs, both Patron and Staff.
This account also includes the central software licenses for servers.
Nearly all the expenses in this account are offset by the Technology Software Fee which is $65/PC annually.
$ This account will increase as more PCs are added to the network, but increases will be covered by the Software Fee.
$ Licenses are purchased in bundles, so funds not expended in the current year are added to the Technology contingency account to use in later years.

This account covers the expenses associated with the BadgerNet TEACH lines, the SCLS WiscNet Membership Fees, and the MuFN membership fee.
This account increased significantly when compared to 2012 due to the increased cost of BadgerNet broadband lines and the addition of several new BadgerNet locations.
$ Will increase when we add new locations (Arpin & Stevens Point)
$ MuFN for Madison Central will cost more at first, but eventually it may lower costs as we bring more MPL branches and other libraries on.
